Default 07 Heritage softail won't start

HELP! HELP!M HELP!

I checked the battery-GOOD, 12 amps under load.
with the proximity key close by, the headlights come on, the kill switch is OFF, but the start button will not start the bike?

If by 12 amps you mean 12 volts, that is not a strong load reading. Even the sitting voltage should be higher.

What about the interlock switch on the kick stand? Verify it hasn't shorted out.
